YMCA Student Care

From young learners to young entrepreneurs.

At the Y Junior Entrepreneurship programme, students from YMCA Student Care Centre brainstorm ideas and create products using recycled materials.

This year, students from YMCA Student Care Centre @ St Anthony's crafted bath bombs using ingredients, such as Epsom salts and essential oils.

The programme culminated in a sales fair, where students gained hands-on experience in marketing and selling their products to the public.

Beyond entrepreneurship, the programme encourages creativity, collaboration, problem-solving skills, and social responsibility. Proceeds from the sales fair will be channelled to the YMCA Lend A Hand (YLAH) Fund, supporting at-risk children with financial assistance, supervision and care while their caregivers deal with personal and financial challenges. At YMCA of Singapore, we believe that learning goes beyond the classroom. Through these programmes, we empower children to develop confidence from young, discover their potential and create a positive impact in their communities.

The Y Sport Stacking competition was held at YMCA of Singapore on 5 June 2026, bringing together over 168 students from YMCA Student Care Centres for a day of friendly competition, teamwork and personal growth.

Competing across individual, doubles, head-to-head relay categories, participants demonstrated focus, perseverance and collaboration while building meaningful connections with peers from across the YMCA community.

Congratulations to the students from YMCA Student Care Centre @ St Anthony’s for clinching 1st place in the Head-to-Head Relay category. Hear from the young champions as they share their experience and what achievement means to them.

Beyond the excitement of competition, the Y Sport Stacking Competition reflects YMCA's commitment to nurturing the holistic development of children. Through such platforms, participants develop confidence, resilience, teamwork, and sportsmanship. These are valuable skills that extend beyond the classroom and into their everyday lives.
